A 31-day Lenten Devotional Series by Rev. Dave Brown
Exodus 18:1-27
Edith Schaeffer’s What is a Family? is a classic presentation of the meaning of family. In her first chapter she describes a family as “the most versatile, ever-changing mobile that exists”. “It is a moving, changing collection of objects constantly in motion, yet within the framework of a form.” (p. 18) Moses too was part of an ever-changing family mobile. We are not told all the details, but we can at least reflect on some of the dynamics.
